Flu Facts You Won't See on TV

The World Health Organization recently (May '09) changed the definition of a Level 6 pandemic, dropping the criteria of high morbidity and high mortality. Without that change, they couldn't call the current H1N1 outbreak a pandemic, there wouldn't be any talk of mandatory vaccinations, and big pharma wouldn't be about to rake in billions from it.

Teresa Forcades is a Spanish Benedictine nun who is also an MD specialist in internal medicine with a PhD in Public Health. In this hourlong talk (Spanish, w/English subtitles) she speaks to that change and other disturbing irregularities about the (not so) "new" flu "pandemic."

Are The Chinese Are Trying to Poison Us?

Melamine in pet food and infant formula, embalming fluid in children's pajamas, anti-freeze in toothpaste and cough syrup, contaminated Heparin, lead paint on toys, seafood from sewage-contaminated water, honey with antibiotics in it, the list goes on and on. Today an AP article reports drywall from China is giving off fumes that corrode copper pipes, blacken jewelry and silverware, and make people sick.

The government is preparing for a pandemic. You can bet your ass it will be coming from China. What I wonder is: Will it be intentional?

Too Many People

Chris Hedges, in an essay at Truthdig entitled "We Are Breeding Ourselves To Extinction" writes:

All measures to thwart the degradation and destruction of our ecosystem will be useless if we do not cut population growth. By 2050, if we continue to reproduce at the current rate, the planet will have between 8 billion and 10 billion people, according to a recent U.N. forecast. This is a 50 percent increase. And yet government-commissioned reviews, such as the Stern report in Britain, do not mention the word population. Books and documentaries that deal with the climate crisis, including Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” fail to discuss the danger of population growth. This omission is odd, given that a doubling in population, even if we cut back on the use of fossil fuels, shut down all our coal-burning power plants and build seas of wind turbines, will plunge us into an age of extinction and desolation unseen since the end of the Mesozoic era, 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs disappeared.

We are experiencing an accelerated obliteration of the planet’s life-forms—an estimated 8,760 species die off per year—because, simply put, there are too many people. Most of these extinctions are the direct result of the expanding need for energy, housing, food and other resources. The Yangtze River dolphin, Atlantic gray whale, West African black rhino, Merriam’s elk, California grizzly bear, silver trout, blue pike and dusky seaside sparrow are all victims of human overpopulation. Population growth, as E.O. Wilson says, is “the monster on the land.” Species are vanishing at a rate of a hundred to a thousand times faster than they did before the arrival of humans. If the current rate of extinction continues, Homo sapiens will be one of the few life-forms left on the planet, its members scrambling violently among themselves for water, food, fossil fuels and perhaps air until they too disappear. Humanity, Wilson says, is leaving the Cenozoic, the age of mammals, and entering the Eremozoic—the era of solitude. As long as the Earth is viewed as the personal property of the human race, a belief embraced by everyone from born-again Christians to Marxists to free-market economists, we are destined to soon inhabit a biological wasteland.

Perhaps an avian flu pandemic will handle the population problem. Some experts are saying it is inevitable. Check out this scary compilation from Lori Price at legitgov.org
